Privacy Policy

We built Foldif on a simple principle: your conversations are yours. We never read, store, or sell them.

Last updated: April 29, 2026

1. Who We Are

Foldif ("we", "our", or "us") is a browser extension and web service that helps you organize and compare conversations across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Our website is located at foldif.com.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our extension or website. Please read it carefully. If you disagree with the terms, please discontinue use of our services.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

  • Email address — when you create an account.
  • Password — stored as a salted hash via Supabase Auth. We never see your plain-text password.
  • Folder names and organization structure — stored locally first, optionally synced to our servers.

What we do NOT collect:

  • The content of your AI conversations (messages, prompts, or responses).
  • Your browsing history outside of the AI platforms Foldif supports.
  • Any personally identifiable information beyond your email address.

Automatically collected usage data:

  • We use PostHog for anonymous product analytics (e.g., which features are used, how often the extension is opened). This data is aggregated and cannot be tied back to individual conversations or content.
  • Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, timestamps) retained for up to 90 days for security purposes.

3. Local-First Storage

Foldif operates on a local-firstprinciple. Your folder structure and conversation metadata are stored in your browser's local storage by default. Data is only synced to our servers when you explicitly enable cloud sync in settings.

This means: if you uninstall the extension without enabling sync, your local data is deleted from your device only. We have no copy of it.

4. Chrome Extension Permissions

Foldif requests the minimum permissions necessary to function. Here is a plain-language explanation of each permission declared in our Chrome extension:

storage
Saves your folder structure, extension settings, and license status locally in your browser. No data is sent to our servers without your consent.
activeTab
Detects which AI platform tab is currently active so Foldif knows where to inject the folder sidebar. Only reads the current tab URL — no browsing history access.
contextMenus
Adds right-click menu items such as "Compare on all 3 AIs" and "Send prompt to Claude / Gemini". These only appear on supported AI platforms.
host_permissions: chatgpt.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com
Allows the extension to inject the Foldif sidebar UI into the supported AI platform pages. The extension reads conversation titles and metadata (e.g., conversation ID, URL) to populate your folders — it NEVER reads, stores, or transmits the actual content of your conversations (messages, prompts, or AI responses).
host_permissions: api.foldif.com
Used exclusively to verify your license status and sync folder data (when cloud sync is enabled). All requests are authenticated and encrypted.

We do not use any of these permissions to read, collect, or transmit the content of your AI conversations. Conversation content never leaves your device through Foldif.

5. How We Use Your Information

  • To create and manage your account.
  • To provide and maintain the extension's core features.
  • To process your subscription via Paddle (our payment processor).
  • To send you transactional emails (account confirmation, new feature drop notifications, receipt).
  • To improve the product using anonymous aggregate analytics.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

6. Third-Party Services

We work with the following third-party services, each subject to their own privacy policies:

Supabase
Database, authentication, and optional cloud sync. Hosted in Frankfurt (EU).
Paddle
Payment processing and subscription management. Paddle is our Merchant of Record and processes all payments.
Resend
Transactional email delivery (account confirmation, receipts, drop notifications).
PostHog
Anonymous product analytics. No personally identifiable information is shared.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under GDPR:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Erasure: Request deletion of your account and all associated data. You can also do this directly from your account settings.
  • Restriction: Request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Portability: Request an export of your data in a machine-readable format (JSON).
  • Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@foldif.com. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services.

  • Account data (email, subscription status): retained until you request deletion.
  • Cloud-synced folder data: retained until you request deletion or disable sync.
  • Server logs: automatically deleted after 90 days.
  • Payment records: retained for 7 years as required by applicable tax law (managed by Paddle).

9. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption for cloud-synced data, hashed passwords, and Row Level Security (RLS) in our database ensuring users can only access their own data. Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

Foldif is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us at privacy@foldif.com and we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by email and by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Foldif after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
